[ANN] sgminer v5 - optimized X11/X13/NeoScrypt/Lyra2RE/etc. kernel-switch miner

[Dophoeve]

I have a working config file for r9 280x's series. If anyone is interested pm me for the config file.

Sgminer is running now smooth for couple of hours, switching between x11/x13/keccak heavily.

Hi,
So I am apparently mining but have no Accepted shares although miners says "accepted coin xxxx" And on TradeMyBit I have worker's hashrate

its not exact but you can usually go by the WU/m to see how long it will take to get a full diff1 share
really the top line should look more like this for these algos

[BombaUcigasa]

There seems to be an issue on some machines, where setting auto-fan and something less than 100 for max will cause the fan to be set to negative speed, effectively stopping the fans, causing the GPU to overheat and crash the system.

In some other instances, the fan stats are going dark and sgminer doesn't change them anymore.

[platinum4]

any fix for 290 exit on 60 sec ?

Can you elaborate on this?

I've had 290X's up for 36hours max once; average is 6 hours without cold boot right now.

Heyyyyyyy!  badman!  You made it over from the sph-sgminer thread where you posted some previous builds for DRK & MARU (first kernels).  What's up!

[badman74]

Heyyyyyyy!  badman!  You made it over from the sph-sgminer thread where you posted some previous builds for DRK & MARU (first kernels).  What's up!

just finished with a full month of 12 hour days 7 days a week at work.....

nice to see someone got this to work
i was working on it in my spare time but i don't know enough about how it all works to make the algo switch work for me

[mrbrdo]

Thanks for this... Its great

I know this is in Alpha / Beta stage but the performance of Marucoin-Mod kernel is still slower than X13mod.

Maybe it is just because of SPH_HAMSI_EXPAND_BIG. There is a different default setting in different miners. I added a .conf setting for this in sgminer (not pool-specific) yesterday, what you need to add in your conf file is:

Code:

"hamsi-expand-big" : "1",

Default value is 4, but 1 works better for many cards (for example Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X). I don't think there is a Windows build out yet for this, but you can change it in the marucoin-mod.cl file ("#define SPH_HAMSI_EXPAND_BIG 4") - in this case you will need to delete the old .bin files.
In newer versions of v5 you will see it from the filename, it will be something like "marucoin-modTahitigw256l4big1.bin" (big1 means the setting is 1).

For 290 '1' is better also.

For 290 '1' is better also.
Just add --kernel setting back..

what would be the point of putting --kernel back in when the kernels are all set with --algorithm?

The point is that instead of modifying existing kernel I would create new kernel and set it with --kernel option.
That's why --kernel option was implemented in the first place.

To be clear, --algo looks if specified kernel exist in the current sgminer build and if not it loads ckolivas.
So, I can't use ckolivas_my_pimped_kernel.cl

And adding hamsi-expand-big to config.. f.e. scrypt does not need that option. Lets add some.. dunno.. SPH_ECHO_64 or SPH_COMPACT_BLAKE_64 or any other defines in ocl kernels then..
